12 Weeks of Christmas Snowman Top Hat Treat Holder

Twelve Weeks of Christmas Week #1

I’m so excited to start my new Twelve Weeks of Christmas series! Each week throughout the season I will be posting a new project with full-color instructions for you to download and print for your paper crafting library! And, new this year, I’ll be including a video tutorial to go along with every Twelve Weeks project!

Today’s project is this sweet Snowman Top Hat Treat Holder.

These adorable treat holders measure 2″ tall by 2″ wide. They would make great party favors, dinner party placeholders, and coworker gifts. I imagine a cake plate full of them to present to your holiday guests at the dessert table.

Make a Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder

The Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder I’m sharing today is a quirky little fellow. The basket of the treat holder measures 2″ tall and 3-1/2″ wide. It’s big enough to hold a significant number of harvest treats!

I think the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder would make an incredible gift at everyone’s place at the holiday table. A perfect gift for a co-worker or a flock of them would be a fun contribution to the book club.

The basket is made from a 6″ x 6″ piece of cardstock scored at 2″ and 4″ on both sides. Score at 5/8″ and 1-3/8″ on each corner panel. Make a tic mark at 3″ on the top and bottom middle panels. Use a ruler and stylus to create a diagonal score line from the tic mark to the corners of the middle panels per diagram.

Cut on the score lines per diagram:

Once the scoring and cutting are done, the basket is ready to assemble and embellish. I used the Layering Circles Dies and the Hello Harvest Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to finish the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder. Watch the video below for complete project directions.

Make a Cottage Wreaths Fancy Fold Christmas Card!

I’m always ready to learn a new fancy fold for my card making. The Cottage Wreaths Fancy-Fold Christmas Card I’m sharing today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square card. I used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to decorate the front flap.

I purchased the Cottage Wreaths Bundle because of its versatility. The bundle can be used for all holidays and occasions. Here it is decked out for Halloween.

I’m loving the Real Red Glimmer Paper bow and the sparkly sequins on the wreath. The fancy part of this card is the fold. It’s like a card within a card and the effect was so easy to achieve!

Make a This Birthday Piggy Pop-Up Card

I recently received one of the Perfect Partners Bundles from Stampin’ Up! The bundle I ordered was the This Birthday Piggy Bundle.

I knew these adorable piggy images would work beautifully on a pop-up card. This pop-up card technique does not require special dies or tools to achieve.

The front of the card is simple with an embossed background, a die-cut image, and a sentiment tag.

The inside of the card is full of all the fun. What could be more fun than a happy pig racing her scooter past fields of flowers to help someone celebrate her birthday?

Make a Spruced Up Scalloped Christmas Card

Are you a fan of How the Grinch Stole Christmas? The images from the book and the movies are fun and whimsical. The Spruced Up Scalloped Christmas Card project I’m sharing with you today reminds me of those playful images.

The card base measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. I created some interest by cutting a scalloped edge about 1-1/4″ from the bottom of the front flap of the Pool Party card base. I also cut a scalloped edge from a 2″ x 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper for a sweet surprise when you open the card.

The Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper on the card front measures 4″ x 3-1/2. The Poppy Parade square on the card front equals 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″.

Make a Cottage Wreaths Mini Cutting Board for Fall Decor

I stumbled across mini cutting boards during a recent visit to Hobby Lobby. Of course, I had to make something using them and here is the result:

I painted the 3-1/2″ x 7″ natural wood cutting boards with white spray paint and then embellished them using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Make a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder

Today I’m sharing a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder. I found the plastic mini cauldrons at a local Dollar Tree store and knew I wanted to embellish them for Halloween. You can also find the same plastic buckets on Amazon.

These treat holders would make excellent class party favors, coworker treats, and teacher gifts. And, bonus, they are quick and easy to make! I used the Bewitching Bundle by Stampin’ Up! to decorate the cauldrons.

A strip of window sheet helped to make it appear that the witch has fallen into the cauldron. Another small detail that I love about this Bewitching Halloween Cauldron treat holder is the spider hanging from the witch’s hat.

Make a Hello Harvest Watercolor Card

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m not a pumpkin spice latte fan. I hope we can still be friends – lol! I am, however, a fan of pumpkins and am beginning to scatter them around the house and craft with them as we enter September. This card, made yesterday during my live Coffee & a Card, was so fun to make.

I used Water Painters along with re-inkers and stamps to create the soft, watercolor effect onto Shimmery White cardstock. The card base is an 8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The other layers on the card include a 4″ x 4″ piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper, a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a 3″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock.

Make a Christmas Banners Floating Christmas Card

I’ve noticed several cards around the interwebs that are using the “floating” technique. I was curious to see how to make them and today’s project is the result of that curiosity.

Because this was my first attempt at making a floating card, I kept it simple. I used strips of various sizes from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper to create the floating circle on my card. Once I placed the floating circle onto the card front I embellished it with die-cuts from the Christmas Banner Dies.

Sweet Gingerbread Christmas Card

The card I’m sharing today is a fun-fold called a 2-step. The adorable elements from the Sweet Gingerbread Bundle by Stampin’ Up! were perfect for the steps of the card. And the sweet print from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper was a natural choice.

The fold on the card is created by making five scores on the 11″ side of a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. Score at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 4-1/4″, 6″, and 8-1/4″. The “steps” of the card will look like this:

I adhered a 4-3/4″ x 4″ piece of the designer series paper to a 5″ x 4-1/4″ piece of card stock then adhered the panel to the last step of the card. The remaining piece of designer series paper for the front step of the card measures 1-1/8″ x 4″. Watch the video tutorial for complete instructions for completing the Sweet Gingerbread Step Card.

Make a Hello Harvest Curtain Fold Card

Kiddos in our area started school this week and that means that the days will begin to get cooler as the Fall season begins. Today’s Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card gives all the autumn feels. I used products from Stampin’ Up!’s Rustic Harvest Suite to create my card.

Look at those gorgeous, jewel-tone colors in the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper! I used a more subdued print for my Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card. I didn’t want the paper to compete with the layers of die-cuts that I added.

I used ink and Stampin’ Blends to color the die-cuts on the card and popped everything up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Here is a close-up.

The curtain-fold on the card front is very easy to achieve and I think it elevates the card. I will be using this technique a lot in the future.

Make a Sweet Gingerbread House Treat Holder

The Sweet Gingerbread House treat holder project I’m sharing with you today is the cutest! The box measures 1-1/2″ square and 1-3/4″ tall. It’s an excellent size for gifting small candies. The floating “Have a sweet Christmas” greeting is my favorite thing about the Sweet Gingerbread House.

To make the box for the Sweet Gingerbread House you will need a piece of card stock that measures 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″. Score the 6-1/2″ side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″ & 6″. Score the 2-3/4″ side at 1″. Trim box tabs per this diagram, add your favorite strong adhesive, and assemble the box.

Once the box is complete it’s time to decorate the Sweet Gingerbread treat holder! I used Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, and Coastal Cabana inks to stamp the doors, windows, and gumdrops. I also heat embossed the cute filigree image onto the front of my house using white embossing powder.

Make a Penguin Place Gift Card Holder

The Penguin Place stamp set along with the Penguin Builder Punch are returning favorites this year from Stampin’ Up!

I couldn’t get enough of this little fella and created this Penguin Place Gift Card Holder.

I used the Layering Diorama Dies to create the small pond. For the snow around the pond, I used the white Pearlized Enamel Effects and sprinkled white glitter over top of it. I loved how it turned out.

Follow my instructions on the video below and use this diagram to create the gift-card box.

Make a Hello Harvest Lollypop Treat Holder

I’m pulling an old rabbit out of the hat today with this Hello Harvest Lollypop Treat Holder. These treat holders are easy-peasy to make so they are great for party favors and classroom treats. I think they would also work great for placeholders on your holiday table.

To make the treat holder start with an 8-1/2″ x 2″ piece of cardstock. Adhere an 8-1/4″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper to the strip of cardstock. Next, score the 2″ strip at 2-3/8″, 4-1/8″ and 6-1/2″ on the 8-1/2″ side.
